what to do here...poor quality paint

[envious eric]

Client had his car resprayed and the final outcome was very very very poor quality. My initial thoughts were to sand it down and wrap over it. Fast forward a month, the door paint has pulled back (shrunk) and actually comes off like a flat chunk of cold vinyl (like pulling it off a car and it breaks apart).

There are tons of areas with massive solvent pop that shows through the test vinyl, huge clear drips and runs, and areas of trash in/under the paint.

Thoughts on my next steps??? Thinking about stripping the paint and laying down a new primer layer, but not sure if the vinyl will stick long term. Should it be recleared properly?

Looks like potentially one of those jerbs where you don't make any money because you gotta dik around with it, then the customer doesn't like it and tells everyone he knows to stay away from your shop

Owner is super cool and knows the paint is an issue. We are trying to help him make everything right. I'm not about to lay film on top of it because you can see everything.

Yes 350z

You can lay vinyl over primer no problem.

I do it all the time. Let me know if you have any questions.

From what I heard it needs to be a quality 2k primer though, not sure if you have used any other Spectrum?

 

All I can say is make sure the car is super prepped after Priming, The first and only time we have done bodywork before a wrap was on one of our show cars and we had wet and dried the primer in areas to the point where we thought we couldn't feel it and then again for good measure. Once wrapped you could see ripples and slight lines in that area. Was really annoying as the wrap idea and overall look was killer, only to be let down by poor bodywork prep.

 

That's why we are a wrap shop and not a bodywork shop! After all if you have to prep the body that much and are at the stage of putting a primer on then it makes sense to just paint it.....
